Miami-Dade County, FL
The Humane Society of Greater Miami has been caring for homeless animals in Miami-Dade County since 1936. Every day, more than 400 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens receive compassionate care at the Soffer and Fine Adoption Center in North Miami Beach. Each animal is given a true second chanceβtender care, nutritious meals, safety, and medical support for as long as they need until the right family arrives.
The organization works with dedication to build a kinder, more responsible community for both pets and people. Through education programs, outreach, and compassionate guidance, they inspire residents to care for animals with the respect and kindness they deserve.
Their preventive veterinary clinic in North Miami Beach plays a vital role in reducing overpopulation, performing thousands of sterilization surgeries each year. They also support families experiencing financial hardship by offering low-cost and free vaccines and spay/neuter services.
Every animal under their care is safe from the threat of euthanasia while waiting for adoption. More than 2,000 pets each year find loving homes across South Florida. Before adoption, each animal is fully evaluated, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered, and families receive personal guidance to help them make the perfect match.
Staff and volunteers travel throughout the communityβschools, libraries, organizations, and clubsβto teach responsible pet ownership, kindness to animals, and the importance of the humanβanimal bond. Their outreach reaches more than 6,000 children and adults a year, shaping a more compassionate future.
The Humane Society of Greater Miami is a nonprofit organization supported entirely by donations, grants, and community fundraising. Their work continues because the community believes in it.

Founded in honor of a life that inspired a mission.
The heart of this rescue began with one dog: Mr. Bones. After years of suffering, he was found on NYCβs Urgent List in July 2012βragged, smiling, and only hours from euthanasia. He carried deep wounds, trauma, and a lifetime of neglect, yet his resilience was extraordinary. Through months of medical treatment, surgeries, and slow healing, Mr. Bones transformed into a soul who fostered more than 65 puppies and showed a depth of emotional intelligence that inspired an entire movement.
His journeyβboth the victories and the challengesβled founder Elizabeth βElliβ Frank to create Mr. Bones & Co., an organization built from compassion, responsibility, and the belief that every animal deserves safety, patience, and a chance to start again.
Today, the rescue works to create a kinder, more just community for both pets and people. They offer programs that educate, uplift, and inspire responsible pet ownership, and they continually advocate for animals who have nowhere else to turn.
